Re: Getting data from SAP
Older SAP releases are abap only based. newer releases (>= netweaver04) are
abap and java based. SAP provides java JCO libraries to send/receive data
to/from sap (abap only and abap/java releases) and other middleware
competitors (tibco) use JCO to send/receice IDOC to/from SAP, to call RFC
function modules,...
There is a jbi implementation
http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=SAPBC
but I don't know how to use it with servicemix. can anyone help me? Thanks

Unfortunately, the JCo and JCoIDoc libraries are only available for download
in SAPs customer download area.
The good thing is that they do not depend on high-level (J2EE / JEE) stuff.
They use just a simple TCP/IP connection to the SAP (R/3) system, and
provide a callback for incoming messages.
All incoming IDoc messages can be converted to XML by the library, sending
IDocs from client-side XML messages is also possible.
A small disadvantage of JCo is that the libraries require a
platform-dependent DLL to connect with the server.

Hi
1) the official JCo FAQ page in http://service.sap.com/connectors/ looks
like the page http://www.erpgenie.com/faq/jco.htm
2) the documentation inside the zip file of JCo library says:

4) what about servicemix & SAP JBI component from

Any progress on this discussion? It would really be nice to have a SAP
connector in ServiceMix.
One question I have is about the libraries on which we'd have to
depend for the connection into SAP. Does anyone know what license the
JCo libraries use?

hiya,
I'll give my 2 cents here... anyone feel free to contraddict me /
comment on issue as w hat
i say is based on how i have used JCO (7 years ago)
unfortunately, looks like i cannot access site that Matteo posted (
http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=SAPBC
... i have been waiting 10 mins for page to load.. :( so i cannot comment
on that.... :(
let me guess how'll do it based only on JCO .
in order to user JCO, you'll need to have a connection to a
ResourceConnector (your R3/R4 address).
This assumes you'll deploy your servicemix onto an app server (JBoss?)
where you canh define ResourceConnectors (unless
there is a better way to do that... i m not aware of that)
i'll write a Spring POJO (let's call it SAPBean) which contains code use
JCO, using a JNDI connection to your R3/R4....
you'll write a SE that has a dependency on yoru SAPBean........
to me, this is all that's required.....
when i did it, i used an EJB (as connection to the R3/R4 ResourceConnector
needed to be wrapped in a transaction) that uses JCO
to interact with SAP
i see no reasons why the same code in the EJB cannot be put in a simple
Spring POJO , which in turn gets called by a SE..
any comments appreciated...
end of my 2 cents :)
